Perhaps you come across as stand offish, talk to people, make yourself approachable. If you look stuck up and are wearing a business suit all the time maybe this is what puts people off.

Don't know your career or how much you travel. However, I have been where you are now. It is career vs love life; it is not an easy balance. Even having "just friends" is difficult.
If your looking to date, consider on line dating (Match.com or Mate1) this way you may be able to connect with other singles that travel also. You can meet (be very cautious when meeting) some wonderful people out there.
I have a few close friends that I remain in contact with and we get together when I return "home". I am trying to date after coming off the road after a three year run as an auditor. I still have contact with several on line friends that I met over the last two years.
Traveling is a lonely business. If you can not see a change in the future or can not handle the traveling; you may need to consider a career change. I don't know your age but the older you get the harder it is. And loneliness is just as painful as an arrow in the heart. I know.
Oh yea, the guy who told you to lose some weight........he is a jerk!!

If you are single (and I am guessing you are), times like this can be very trying on an emotional level. When I am feeling extremely lonely, I force myself to get up, get dressed, and start walking. Let my body sway itself on until something catches my eye. Let the scenes around me comfort me. However, when that does not work, here are some other things I recommend:
1.Do you have any free time while conducting business? If so, check out some sights you have not seen yet.
2.Chat it up with some people in the hotels. They may give you some insight on where many people go for a swell time.
3.Don't feel like moving anywhere? SPOIL yourself! I may be a guy, but there is a mysterious rush in shopping! I do not know what it is. It's even a little spooky, but it works!
4.Think positive. Sometimes, you will respond to life based on how you view it. If life feels boring, you become boring. If you feel lively, then you are lively.
5.Work on a hobby you enjoy. Try doing something that you like to put time and energy into. Your hobby will reward you in return.
6.Get in a good laugh. Even if you have to walk around making silly noised and goofy faces in the mirror, do it if you know it may make you laugh!
7.Finally, try meditation. Really try to think, why am I extremely lonely? Listen to your body's cues. You know how to prevent from being extremely lonely. Know you just have to do it!
Keep fighting the lonely times, and do not give up cheering yourself up! These times come, and these times go. Push those disturbing thoughts aside and enjoy life! Be glad and proud to be living! Be overjoyed to be you, because you sound like an awesome person!

Why don't you try joining chat groups with people you have things in common with. Theses peoople are usually all over the world, this way you would have friends wherever you go. Either that or I would find another job with less traveling. I would never be able to travel that much and spend that much time away from home.
And, just a note for the person who said lose some weight, first of all if you don't know that of which you speak, it's best to keep your mouth shut and second, if you are that superficial, you should be woriking on your own self, not trying to solve someone else's problems!!!!!

Join clubs and groups. Volunteer when you have time. These are great ways to meet people. Then you will be able to stay in touch with others even while traveling. If you are looking for a significant other try online dating. Get out there with people and good luck to you!!

I met my cutting-edge lady buddy over a year in the past and we are heavily the appropriate couple. We in no way combat or something, have each little thing in basic. It took approximately 4 tries yet i ultimately met her. different suggestion i'd provide is to get a puppy. one which demands multiple time. when I lived via myself I have been given 2 chinese language Water Dragons that are rather small iguanas and that they are literally intense upkeep pets. i'm useful a cat or something will artwork wonderful besides... ;) locate something you rather decide for to do. For me it became basic using fact i for my section rejoice with enjoying guitar and writing track and that i'm able to easily try this on my own. Oh, and via the way, that lady buddy I met lived in Indiana, and that i became in California. She moved in with me after 3 months of telephone calls. loopy huh.
